In Helldivers 2, the reinforcement from the new recruits on Xbox Series X|S is getting closer. The developers have now released a video that players believe will end the console war forever.
What kind of video is it? The developers of Helldivers 2 have released a new video on YouTube aimed at potential new players on the Xbox Series X|S. Starting from August 26, 2025, these players will finally be able to play Helldivers 2, and the video explains why it is worth it.
The video showcases many heroic deeds and soldiers who have accomplished these in the major battles of the galactic war. Naturally, the developers also include some humorous moments that are characteristic of Helldivers 2, alongside the action-packed scenes.
It quickly becomes clear to the players: The combined fight for Über-Earth could end the console war.

Why is Helldivers 2 supposed to end the console war? If there’s one thing Helldivers 2 embodies, it’s the strong connection between the community and the developers, and the joint fight for Über-Earth. This video game patriotism developed by the fans has long provided great motivation and strong player numbers for Helldivers 2.
Many players not only check in on the game regularly but also engage heavily on social media about Helldivers 2. On Reddit, the Helldivers 2 community, with over 2 million members, ranks among the top 500 largest subreddits, and on Discord, the Helldivers 2 server boasts over a million members.
The shared fight for Über-Earth has bonded many players together and is set to do the same with the new recruits on Xbox. This starts right in the first scene of the video, where the Xbox logo and the PlayStation logo appear one after the other.
How do the players of Helldivers 2 view the situation? Current players are looking forward to their new recruits. In the comments on YouTube, they express this anticipation:
- ed_architecture: “As a PlayStation player, I look forward to spreading democracy with our Xbox brothers.”
- tonymozzarella4: “Seeing the two logos next to each other brings a tear to my eye.”
- UnapologeticcallyAmerican: “Helldivers has ended the console wars.”
- xR167xT: “I never expected to see the Xbox and the PlayStation logo next to each other.”
That the fight for Über-Earth brings former enemies onto the same side and thus ends the console war would be a desirable outcome for many players.
